We wanted to get together to celebrate Sarah's graduation and Josh's graduation but there always seemed to be an obstacle. Now, Sarah was just back from South Carolina and Josh was getting ready to go north to Alaska. So, we drove off but went slightly too far and so had to turn around but we got to do so in the parking lot of this place we've wanted to capture for a long time. At dinner, Sarah Suzanne G. Suzanne W. Josh Michael and David had a pleasant chat with the waitress about the dessert and cappuccino when the owner came by and then was joined by his wife and they took these pictures of our distinguished group after which I captured the bathroom signage and was unable to get a picture of the sub shop across the street.

Early the next morning, we got gas and then drove the Thruway until we paid our toll and through a wrong turn found the sculpture garden by going 10 miles out of our way; but eventually we got to Williamstown and Jane and Suzanne led the way to the restaurant opposite Lickety Split which was decorated by these animals on a beautiful summer day. The bathroom across the street (but don't make a mistake and open the door to the doctor's office by mistake) had this ice cream story this playbill and this sign for the collection of such signs. Unfortunately, they wouldn't let us bring the menu home for that collection. Jane didn't make the clean plate club which she may regret after eating around the campfire for 2 weeks. We took a picture of the post office and the obligatory phone booth picture even though it was sponsored by Verizon, the evil empire.

Next, we went to drop Jane off at camp. Her group leaders seemed very nice and eventually the Hagadorn's arrived as Jane finished packing her panniers and then posed with Kaylen after which Kaylen did her tough pose ( wording suggested by Kaylen ) and Jane did her dance pose? after which there were family pictures and then we departed as soon as we could get Adele and Suzanne to finish their conversation.

Next we went to the Clark Museum and silver collection and after a rest at our hotel, headed to the restaurant (From Ketchup to Caviar) where my main course was well presented but the Epsteins and their friends couldn't believe I would take it's picture (and theirs). Not to mention Suzanne's main course and the waiter who is about to start Boston College.

The next day, we took the view from our Inn and the entry to the Inn and then went to Tanglewood for the obligatory phone booth picture and a second obligatory picture with Suzanne in it before we headed to Lenox and saw the town hall but chose a different mailbox for Suzanne to mail our letters.

Next stop was Stockbridge where we saw Alice's Restaurant where they were selling the T shirts that tell the story. Our final Massachusetts stop was Great Barrington where we got this neon sign. of the no longer Hotpoint store.

Finally, we stopped at FDR's house in Hyde Park where the National Park people collected our fee and then we saw this statue that was cut from the Berlin Wall. Next we got to the house in this setting and took the tour. The back of the house was also impressive. We saw this bird because FDR was not there to collect it. One of the horses in the stable was right out of Guys and Dolls. After paying final respects we noted this sign on the way to his library.
